The GATA1 and GATA2 transcription factors play a central role in early cell fate decisions in hematopoietic progenitor cells. Although the switch from GATA2 to GATA1 occupancy at GATA-binding sites in erythroblast-specific genes has been extensively studied, the underlying molecular mechanisms controlling this switch a...

Genetic diversity is central to the process of evolution. Both natural selection and random genetic drift are influenced by the level of genetic diversity of a population; selection acts on diversity while drift samples from it. At a given locus in a diploid population, each individual carries only two alleles, but the...

The outcome of the interaction between Cryptococcus neoformans and infected hosts can be determined by whether the fungal cell survives ingestion by phagocytic cells. This applies to both unicellular and multicellular hosts such as amoeba and animals, respectively. Ingestion by phagocytic cells results in the formation...

Altered serotonin signaling is a well-established contributor to depression, with the serotonin transporter gene (SERT) playing a critical role in regulating serotonin reuptake. Mice lacking SERT (SERT -/-) serve as a robust model for depression, exhibiting significant depressive-like behaviors compared to littermate w...

Objective Perilipin 5 (PLIN5) is a lipid droplet protein highly expressed in cells that actively oxidize fatty acids. Previous in vitro studies have revealed that PLIN5 phosphorylation (p-PLIN5) at serine 155 by PKA is critical for transcriptional regulation of PPARa target genes by which PLIN5 adapt cells for fatty ac...
